These Protein-Packed Cottage Cheese Brownies are a must try for brownie lovers. They’re fluffy, cakey and incredibly easy to make. These brownies are also gluten-free and have no refined sugar.
1/3 cupchocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark chocolate or milk chocolate)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it well.
Add your cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. It should look like a thick yogurt consistency. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and maple syrup. Stir in the blended cottage cheese until fully combined.
Add in the almond flour, cacao powder, and baking soda. Mix until you have a smooth, brownie batter.
Fold in your chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top if you want that bakery-style chocolate puddle situation.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spread it evenly, and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for about 24–26 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs (we want fudgy, not dry!).
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing. They’ll continue to set as they cool.
